Summer Time!

New background added, now we just need mom to add some new pictures. We're SO ready for summer and now that Memorial Day is over, the unofficial kick-off to summer is here. The pool is getting ready for swimming and it will soon be time for me (Sneaker) to throw Sunny in! BOL, I get him every time. I'm wondering if maybe I can get Katie in there, too. I'll wait til her puppies are adopted before I try it but I am sure I can make it work. We're keeping our MAN page for now and voted down adding Katie. BMAO, we're such meanies sometimes. Hang tight dudes and dudettes

Blizzard of 2010

Holy Snowballs! Snow galore and major roads closed due to heavy snow and high winds causing visibility to be near impossible. I can barely pawlieve my eyes! We have never seen a storm this bad in all our lives. My fur cousins in MN are surely to blame since they passed it our way. They ended up with 17" of snow. That was the same storm that caused their Metrodome ceiling to collapse. Thanks a lot guys. Mom is struggling with trying to clear the drive but we think it is a lost cause. Come on in mom and have a cup of tea. Oh, and because of the high winds a section of our fence blew down and now we can't go outside and play. It is a bit too cold but we like to play for a short time anyway. Stay safe if you're in this storm's path.
